@1. Prologue for nature and people
"Mt. Fuji" is a symbol of Japan's natural beauty.
Many people, throughout time have been deeply impressed by its
majestic beauty and have tried to express their feelings about
it through music, art and literature. Here we will show some
passages from old Japanese literature.
@2. Words that express the beauty of nature
When we look at nature's beauty, we often have difficulty
describing it due to its magnificence, but through understanding
of nature's beauty we can learn how to express our appreciation
for it.
3. Nature's beauty that God has created.
The world we live in is surrounded by nature's beauty and
natural resources. Many of us live in awe of how beautiful God
has created our world. This gives many of us a feeling of a
kinship to the land that we live on.
@4. Daily life and environment
At this point we should introduce you to a very special
Japanese term called "Mottainai" which has been popularized
by Ms. Wangari Maathai, Deputy Environment Minister of Kenya
addressed at COP3.
We would also like to discuss the term "Imperfect", which
was given to us by Tenshin Okakura.
5. The emerging problems in the nature
We are thankful for the fruits of modern industrialization.
But, recently many of us can see that the industrial era has
destroyed a lot of what nature created.
The harmony between nature and mankind is marred, and we hear
the Mother Nature asking for help.
6. Conclusion and epilogue for sustainable nature
"Mitigation and Adaptation" are the most important measures for
environmental issues.
